A new PCV and dipstick would be a good start to resolve the issue. Total of like $20 and 2 minutes of labor.

If you choose to zip tie it, just don't overtighten the zip tie, otherwise you run the risk of snapping the plastic handle off the dipstick, which will then drop down into the tube ... don't ask me how I know this ...
